Gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Piauí - Campus Corrente

Abstract

The unrestrained exploitation of nature, accelerated population growth, the development of new technologies and the encouragement of consumption have led to an increase in waste generation. This increase in the amount of waste has caused an immense crisis, as it is also more expensive and far from alternatives for waste disposal. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the current solid waste management system at the Federal Institute of Piauí - Campus Corrente. To carry out this research, a bibliographic survey was first carried out to theoretically support the research. Surveys were carried out on the Campus on waste management, where a standardized checklist was applied, evaluating the mechanisms for collection, packaging and final disposal of waste. To identify the types of waste generated in the study area, it was observed that during the visit on August 29, 2022, to collect information on: whether the waste generated was dry, organic or non-recyclable. Therefore, through this evaluation it was analyzed that more dry waste is generated. When carrying out what occurred on April 13, 2023, it was observed that the waste generated was organic and dry. In the third application of the checklist, which was carried out on July 13, 2023, only dry residues were found
